So, I had my interview yesterday.... and ALMOST there!
In Costa Rica they ask you to provide Single Certificates stating that you are single and free to marry, from anywhere you've lived since 16 years old. Similar to Police Certs.
Unfortunately my Costa Rican one has been held up, and wont be ready till March 26. Guess it's wedding season in CR?

Nevertheless, the consul said everything else was perfect, and that if I had the paper, he would have given me the visa on the spot...bugger! So I have a 221(g) denial till I return the paper, and then the consul said they'll issue the visa straight away.
I posted a full review if anyone's interested

Good Evening Sept’s filers
Finally, we have an interview’s date 4/25, and I will be there in 3 week to celebrate our engagement’s party “before an interview’s date”. The most things I’m worrying about at the interview. This is my second K1. Please share your opinions, so I can well prepare my case at the interview.
My previous fiancée and I did not work out. Therefore, I was dropped my K1 (Jan-2007) at the Consulate before they scheduled an interview for her. Here are the questions; I’d like to ask you all.
1. Should I let my current fiancée know about my previous one? (Such as, name, age, when, how we knew each other, when I filed and when I withdrew)
2. What should I prepare for an interview since I am there? I’ll bring all evidences; I mean everything about 5 inches thicker (papers).
Your info will help us a lot. Thanks for all your helps. Good luck to all of us.
Best regards,
mox

I think you probably should have let her know about your previous fiancee long before now, but to answer your specific question, yes. Absolutely. They will ask her about it. If there's a question they would conceivably ask her, you'd better let her know.

This is a really broad question. Did you look at your consulate's website to find out everything you need to bring? You need more than just the evidence...your consulate's website and your fiancee's packet 3 will have the information you need.

Congrats to Eric and Mox and George n Aaiz for getting your interview dates. I will be leaving next Tuesday to Manila to join in on the wonderful interview experience (I've heard that it could be close to a paid admission Disneyland ride. For some reason, I think it is because of the long lines and wait). Hopefully, things are good for everyone.

Realistically, we'll be lucky if we can get P3 by the end of May, allowing for an interview sometime in August. Most of you will have a visa in hand before our documents even get through chinese customs.

Fiance(e) letter of affirmation (to affirm your continued support of the K-1...not sure if this is strictly required, check with your consulate)

In the Affidavit of Support form, question no.11..
what should we suppose to write in here?
11. I ___ intend ___do not intend
to make specific contributions to the support of the person(s) named in item 3.
(If you check "intend," indicate the exact nature and duration of the contributions. For example, if you intend to furnishroom and board, state for how long and, if money, state the amount in U.S. dollars and state whether it is to be given in a lumpsum, weekly or monthly, and for how long.) ________________________________________________________________________________

I think based on the "N/A" in the comments, it probably doesn't matter if you check it or not. And hopefully they can contextually see that it doesn't apply anyway, even if someone were to fill it in wrong. It's a confusing question that really should be re-worded so that it applies better to family visas.

I think the eleventh of the month is a good day for me; My birthday is May 11, I sent my I-129 F petition September 11, and Diana will fly to Michigan April 11. Too bad it won't be within the 90 day time frame to get married on 7/11.
